It's about a very large cattle feedlot planned in Saskatchewan. The Ministry of Agriculture is reviewing the plan before approving it. They're looking into water supply, waste disposal etc. There's not a lot of information in the article but I think the proposed farm might be interesting to look into, it's called Namaka Farms

Cattle housed on feedlots are fed mostly corn or corn products which means they are raised on less land which cuts costs. Aside from low cost maintenance, cattle feedlot can save a lot of space which can be used for corn planting.
